Dress as a villain

Chapter 59 Peanuts and Gunpowder

The marriage of the Xie clan was put on hold for the time being, and the matter of Master Xie becoming king was formally brought into the agenda.It has become an issue in Tianjing.

On the same day, Si Bogong went to Tianjing. As the emperor's envoy, Xie Lanzhi arranged for him to live in Prince Dun's mansion.

Both Xie and Jingchen were surprised that the marshal attached great importance to Si Bogong.

Xie Lanzhi specially chose Lanzhang Palace to meet Si Bogong.

Si Qitong was also there.

When Si Bogong entered the palace, he specially brought the seeds given by Qijin from overseas traders.

The grains are plump and the peel is golden yellow. Once peeled, there are two or three fruit grains. It is sweet and sweet when eaten raw, and can serve two bowls of wine when cooked.

This thing is peanuts.

Xie Lanzhi was slightly taken aback: "Peanut?"

"The businessman called it the longevity fruit." Si Bogong also felt that the name of the peanut is appropriate, and the many seeds and grains are born from flowers, which is similar to the pomegranate, but this thing belongs to beans, flowers grow from the ground, and the fruit is also from the ground Knot.

It belongs to the pomegranate in beans.He once named himself Dusheng.

Si Qi Tong saw that the two were discussing the name of Dou Guo, so she peeled one and ate it, and it was really plump and juicy, just like what she saw in the Qi Min Yao Dian.The output of this product can be replaced by Dajinshan fruit, and it can also be squeezed into soybean oil.

Si Bogong took the opportunity to say: "Since the Marshal named this object, it is called Peanut. It is Qitong, please ask your servants to ask overseas merchants to find this fruit."

Xie Lanzhi didn't know about this yet, she didn't expect Little Phoenix to act so fast, now that sweet potatoes and peanuts are available, Dajin is equivalent to having one more crop to generate income for people's livelihood.

She said: "Overseas, there are countries similar to the Great Jin. Si Bogong lives up to his reputation and is indeed friends everywhere."

Si Bogong was praised, he cupped his hands and said: "Don't dare, as long as the water boat in Weidu is there, anyone can find this thing, but few people will pay attention to it."

Now that Si Qitong has noticed, it means that this land is about to blow a new wind of planting, which is the rudiment of the restoration of production and the establishment of a dynasty.

Although Xie Lanzhi has not read the second half of the original work, but based on the calculation of the time, from the age of 16 to the age of 24, she began to build her influence.

The appearance of Xie Lanzhi saved Si Qitong seven years of suffering, and also established his influence in Jiujin seven years in advance.Si Qitong had Li Ling and Li Jin father and son under him, both of whom were civil servants but not military officials.

Xie Lanzhi reckoned that if time does not delay the plot, then Little Phoenix's military officials will appear soon?

She wondered who it would be?

Xie Lanzhi looked at Si Bogong, Si Bogong and Si Qitong were discussing the planting and methods of peanuts, and heard that planting peanut tents would make the flowers grow better.

Si Qitong's eyes were shining brightly, like pearls at night.

Someone from outside the hall came in to report.

Xie Lanzhi asked people to keep her voice down, she went out of the palace to meet Xie Ji.

As the right general, Xie Ji has been guarding the south gate of Tianjing. Now that the south gate has been exchanged for Xie Xia, he is finally free to complete the tasks assigned by the marshal.

He took out the kraft paper from his pocket and handed it to Xie Lanzhi: "Marshal, this is the gunpowder newly refined from Huoku. Unfortunately, its performance is unstable and it is extremely easy to get wet."

"Huoku wondered if there could be something moisture-proof like kraft paper to waterproof the gunpowder."

Xie Lanzhi pinched a handful of gunpowder with her fingers, it was grainy, and the color was dull and a little wet as soon as she opened it, so it’s not waterproof?

Tianjing has passed the beginning of spring, but the air is humid.

She pondered: "It is difficult to prevent moisture if the ratio is wrong. Is it because there is too much toner?"

"The subordinates did prepare it according to the ratio you gave, but it just couldn't achieve the effect that the marshal said." Xie Ji himself tried it on the field himself, and used the flintlock gun given to him by the marshal. Flintlock guns are precious, and they dare not use inferior gunpowder casually, so they adjust to the best level to try, but the power is still not enough.

It can't catch up with the power of Emperor Xicheng's flames.

Xie Lanzhi thought about it. He had never seen effective gunpowder, so it must be hard to imagine the actual combat required.Remembering that she still had two fire seeds in her hand, she handed them to Xie Ji: "Take it, take it apart, and analyze the ingredients inside."

Xie Ji heard that one fire is three thousand gold, and two are equivalent to half of his family property.

Xie Ji immediately felt pain: "Marshal, are you willing?"

"I can't bear the fact that the cub can't hold the wolf." Xie Lanzhi also felt pain.

The two were talking, when Si Bogong came out, he saw the two whispering something.In particular, the Marshal's expression of finding a treasure is the same as when his niece got peanuts.

Si Bogong was in a trance for a while, seeing similar shadows from their bodies.

"Si Bogong, are you done talking?" Xie Lanzhi took the initiative to say hello.

Si Bogong said: "Basically everything has been explained. Next, I will go to Si's mansion."

"Let's say goodbye first."

Xie Lanzhi sent him off for a while, and then turned back. She told Xie Ji to do one thing: "I let you do it for me in Huoku for so long, it was hard work. Now the clan is very lax, and I will do what you should do when I go back." thing."

"Don't delay."

Xie Ji's eyes flashed, he lowered his head and said: "This subordinate obeys."

His task is very simple, just do what he wants to do, which is what the Marshal needs.

Now the martial artist Xie Guang has come out, so many troubles have been pushed to him, and Xie Ji will take care of the rest without any effort.

Anyone with a discerning eye can tell at a glance that Wu Qiu has become a person close to the Marshal. Although he is the Minister of the Ministry of War, he is actually the Marshal's adviser.

Xie Ji regretted the loss of Wu Qiu.

After Xie Ji left, Mrs. Xie blew up the pot without having passed the day.

Because Xie Ji was gathering people in the clan and pushed Xie Lord to become king with a tough attitude, he even invited Jing Chen to the Xie Clan Hall to discuss this matter together, hoping to use Jing Chen's strength.

The last time His Royal Highness Feng Ning was restored, there were petitions from the common people, so why can't the Lord of Beijing today?

After Jingchen received a clear instruction from General You, they stopped hesitating and began to plan in private.

The Xie family didn't stop either, and the radicals took the opportunity to propose Xie's martial style and want to start a war against the Eight Jin Dynasty.

But there is not enough reason to start a war against the Eight Jin Dynasty.Temporarily put on hold, I thought that going to war was the least possibility, and at most I would enjoy my mouth, but unexpectedly, something happened the next day that shocked the two surnames.

A son of the Si family and a general lady of the Xie family eloped and fled back to Yi Jin, the land of the Eight Jins.

This general is...Xie Guang.

Xie Guang's youngest daughter was abducted by a 13-year-old boy from the Si family when she was only 17 years old.

Xie Guang raised his long knife on the spot, and wanted to rush into Si's mansion to be held accountable.He was stopped by Xie Feng and others halfway and dragged into the palace.

When Xie Lanzhi learned about this, she was peeling peanuts, and Si Qi and Tong Gang put the peanuts into bags.

The outside of Lanzhang Palace became noisy.

Xie Lanzhi's complexion turned dark: "Xie Ji really showed no mercy to Xie Guang."

Si Qitong put the peanuts into the jar, and she sealed it with a lid.Then he said: "You always knew that the two of them would not deal with each other, and you asked Xie Ji to act according to his own ideas."

"This should have been expected."

Xie Lanzhi put down the unpeeled peanuts, she and Xiao Fenghuang peeled the first batch of seeds, and then handed them over to the palace servants.

She said, "I'll go out and have a look."

"Let him make trouble. He must be very worried about his daughter being taken to a turbulent place." Si Qitong persuaded: "I will take the initiative to contact Si Shi, but I don't know how Ba Jin will respond?"

How dare the Eighth Jin Dynasty take in the daughter of General Xie's family, he must be eager to send it back in a hurry.

But the men and women who eloped are so hot because of love, how can anyone find them.

Xie Ji's move was extremely insidious, inciting the little girl to elope with the man.

Xie Lanzhi knew that Xie Ji had always looked down on Xie Guang, and had repeatedly targeted him, but this time it was a little too much.

Since things happen and cannot be undone, we can only take the initiative within the controllable range.

After Xie Lanzhi went out, she saw Xie Guang runny nose and tears, and there was a clear five-finger slap mark on his face.

Anyone present who dared to slap the general, the only possibility that this slap should be Xie Guang's wife Wang Shi.

Mrs. Wang, she has seen a woman who is well-educated and reasonable. This time beating her husband must be because she was too nervous about her daughter.

Xie Guang came to love his face, and he would not have slapped it normally, but now he is insane.

"Why are you crying?" Xie Lanzhi said, "Stand up!"

Xie Guang said sadly: "Marshal, Cui Cui is only thirteen, and she and a powerless scholar went to such a turbulent place, what should I do if I encounter danger?"

As he spoke, his face was full of murderous intent: "If I had known, I would have killed that kid!"

Xie Guang has no children, but he has two daughters. It is said that both have inherited Wang's beauty and intelligence.

Bullying people is also a common thing, but he happened to meet Mr. Si and was educated by Mr. Si.Moreover, Mr. Si knew her identity and dared to accuse her, so he aroused the interest of the little girl, and after getting along for a month, they actually looked at each other right.Xie Guang couldn't stand his daughter's liking, and seeing that there was a lot of demand in the clan, he took the initiative to bear the pressure and asked the marshal to lift the marriage restriction.But I didn't expect Xie Lanzhi to be so tough.

Xie Lanzhi pulled him up: "Xie Ji's cavalry has already gone to Bajin to pursue them, and I believe they will bring them back soon."

Now Xie Guang can't wait to destroy the Eighth Jin Dynasty.

He regretted and said: "Marshal, I should have listened to you. The Si family are really bastards, you can't trust any of them."

Xie Lanzhi said lightly: "Okay, let's go back, there is no news from your wife to worry about."

After hearing this, Xie Guang subconsciously covered his face.

Xie Feng and the others were holding back their smiles.The fact that Xie Guang is a strict wife is already public in the Xie family, but he himself does not know it.Others dare not provoke him, let alone mention it in front of him.

It was finally much quieter outside Lanzhang Palace.

Si Qitong couldn't help shaking her head. Thinking of her younger brother, she sighed even more: "I wonder how much hardship this labor can make you feel among the people?"

Cuckoo~~ The pigeon of Jiujin suddenly circled into the hall and flew onto the tea table, almost knocking the cup over.

Si Qitong walked over and found that the new pigeon was used. She took down the letter under her feet, and saw two messages from the courtiers of the Jiujin Dynasty.

"When the Ma family general was rescued, he was being hunted down by Xie Bing, and there is no danger of his life now."

"The Xie clan...has sent troops to the Eighth Jin Dynasty."

send troops?Si Qitong was surprised, could it be Lanzhi who gave the order?

At the same time, an urgent voice came from the gate of Lanzhang Palace.

"Report-"

"Report-"

"The little general led 1000 people out of Beijing to attack Yijin!!"

Xie Lanzhi raised her eyebrows: "Little General?"

Xie Guang, who was beside her, suddenly turned pale, and couldn't help but yell: "You son of a bitch, she, how dare she send troops behind her father's back!!"

Xie Lanzhi said: "Is it your eldest daughter?"

"Yes, yes, it's Xie Ying." Xie Guang felt guilty all of a sudden: "Those 1000 people are the last general's personal soldiers."

In addition to the tens of thousands of troops that Xie's generals usually lead, according to the standards and status of the recruitment system, generals are allowed to raise private soldiers according to their ranks, but they have to pay for it themselves.
